(3) YA Farrant faithfully--but creatively--retells Austen's Pride & Prejudice from the youngest Bennet sister's point of view. This time, Lydia is wise to Wickham's faults, only marrying him after a failed affair with a count in Brighton. Her droll diary presents a relatable heroine obsessed with fashion, dancing, and enjoying life, yet who isn't as shallow or self-absorbed as Austen's character.
